Kate's an old pal from our days at Word magazine. She was on the staff for six years before heading off to the New Statesman and has just put out a collection of the sizzling and revelatory profiles she wrote for us, them and the Observer about a particular sector of the musical landscape for whom she's always carried a torch. As she wonders in ‘Men Of A Certain Age: My Encounters with Rock Royalty', “how is it that in the presence of wrinkly rock stars twice my age I sometimes think I'm meeting … me?” This tremendous exchange is full of hard-won insight about the mind-set of musicians and stops off at the following … … the fascinating appeal of rock stars' vulnerability, giant egos, oddness and obsessions – “they're often frozen at the emotional age they became famous”. … growing up with Britpop, the decade when “teenagers weren't allowed to like anything”. … things women notice and men often miss: the difference between male and female journalists. … being driven down a mountain by Kevin Ayers after he'd drunk a pint of Pernod. … why she's so drawn to the critically unfashionable acts like Bruce Hornsby, Kiss and Terence Trent D'Arby. … what she learnt from interviewing Joni Mitchell's old boyfriend Cary Raditz. … why the best route to understanding any rock star is via their parents. … her obsession with “the shamefully unfashionable” Queen, aged 11, and the appeal of these self-styled “fun ambassadors” against the grating irony of the ‘90s. … the “charming yet awful” Paul O'Neill of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra handing out $50,000 bundles of cash to the homeless. … why musicians are more interesting when they've peaked. … “the cartoon characters” of Shaun Ryder and John Lydon. … “the only people at Jeff Beck's interment were his wife and Johnny Depp”. … and being refused an interview by Janelle Monae for not being sufficiently “queer or black”.

In Episode #201 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar interviews acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan about his long-awaited debut album Redesign. Early in his career, Ryan McMullan earned praise from icons like Ed Sheeran, who called his voice a "rare jewel," and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, who described it as angelic. His rise was remarkable, from supporting Sheeran to selling out tours. In 2022, with his debut album Redesign and a world tour planned, his future seemed bright. However, a severe mental health crisis forced him to cancel his plans, halting his momentum. In this episode, Ryan discusses all the above as we delve into the songwriting and inspiration behind Redesign and much more.

In Episode #199 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar interviews Hard-Fi frontman Richard Archer about their forthcoming Don't Go Making Plans EP. Hard-Fi makes a highly anticipated return with their new Don't Go Making Plans EP, marking their first release of new material in a decade. The band will embark on an extensive UK headline tour this November to celebrate. Hard-Fi has been a major force in British music with over a million UK album sales, two Number 1 albums (and three in the Top 10), plus five Top 20 singles. Their Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut, Stars of CCTV (2005), offered relatable tales of everyday life and weekend escapism, featuring hits like "Hard to Beat," "Living for the Weekend," and "Cash Machine." The album went double platinum in the UK. Their second album, Once Upon a Time in the West, also reached Number 1, led by the single "Suburban Knights," while Killer Sounds secured a Top 10 spot. Hard-Fi famously played five consecutive, sold-out nights at the O2 Academy Brixton in 2006, a record they share with legends like Bob Dylan and The Clash. In this episode, Richard Archer discusses the inspiration behind the EP, their upcoming live shows, and much more.
